After all parameters in the ASCONF chunk have been\nprocessed, sctp_sf_do_asconf() uses this pointer to send a HEARTBEAT to the\nnew transport.\n\nAn authenticated ASCONF from a remote SCTP peer can add a transport and\nremove it again with a wildcard DEL-IP parameter in the same chunk. The\nwildcard deletion preserves the transport on which the ASCONF arrived, but\nremoves the newly added transport through\nsctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers(). The removal does not clear\nasoc->new_transport, leaving it pointing to the removed transport.\n\nsctp_sf_do_asconf() then creates a HEARTBEAT whose chunk->transport points\nto the removed transport without holding a transport reference. During\nlocal address replacement, src_out_of_asoc_ok keeps this HEARTBEAT on\ncontrol_chunk_list. After the transport is freed by RCU, a successful\nASCONF_ACK for the replacement address releases the queued HEARTBEAT and\nsctp_outq_select_transport() reads the freed transport's state.\n\nThe issue was found during a static audit of SCTP objects. With an\nauthenticated peer, the reproducer triggered the same KASAN report in 2\nof 2 unpatched runs on a KASAN-enabled netdev/main kernel:\n\n  BUG: KASAN: slab-use-after-free in sctp_outq_select_transport\n  Read of size 4 at addr ffff88800b9bd95c by task python3/197\n\n  Call Trace:\n   sctp_outq_select_transport+0x549/0x8b0 [sctp]\n   sctp_outq_flush+0x306/0x2c60 [sctp]\n   sctp_transport_immediate_rtx+0xaf/0x260 [sctp]\n   sctp_process_asconf_ack+0xa48/0xf70 [sctp]\n\n  Allocated by task 197:\n   sctp_transport_new+0x68/0x650 [sctp]\n   sctp_assoc_add_peer+0x258/0x12a0 [sctp]\n   sctp_process_asconf+0x5e9/0x1090 [sctp]\n\n  Last potentially related work creation:\n   __call_rcu_common.constprop.0+0x77/0xb70\n   sctp_assoc_del_nonprimary_peers+0x7c/0xd0 [sctp]\n   sctp_process_asconf+0xd9c/0x1090 [sctp]\n\nThe first invalid access was a four-byte read of transport->state at\nnet/sctp/outqueue.c:833.
